Ultra-Orthodox mob locks cops in building; then suspect flees dressed as woman 3 officers hurt in Mea Shearim as arrest raid — targeting suspects in series of Jerusalem protests — turns violent By Stuart Winer Today, 4:13 pm Police ran into violent clashes Monday night in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Mea She’arim neighborhood, with three officers suffering mild injuries. During an initial arrest raid, a group of officers was trapped in a building after local residents barricaded them inside with chains. A suspect wanted by police tried to evade arrest the next day by dressing as a woman. Police arrived with court-ordered arrest warrants for several suspects as part of an ongoing investigation, the force said in a statement Tuesday. The suspects were wanted for a spate of recent violent protests against a new route of the Jerusalem Light Rail that passes through an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, Hebrew media reported. As officers moved in to make the arrests, they were met with violent opposition by local residents who pelted them with various objects and attacked them, the statement said.

Police used riot dispersal means to clear the protesters. In one location, residents locked doorways using chains, preventing entry or exit from a building. Officers operating in the area needed to be rescued by other police units. Returning on Tuesday to follow up on the arrests, police detained one of the wanted suspects who tried to evade capture by wearing women’s clothes and a face mask, the statement said. No further arrests were apparently made, though police said they were working on tracking down additional suspects. The three injured officers required medical treatment, police said.

Rather, Netanyahu said the only options are Gideon Sa’ar reneging on his New Hope party’s central campaign promise not to join forces with the Likud leader, or holding special, one-off direct elections for prime minister, an idea floated — and criticized by many — in recent days. “We don’t need Ra’am,” the prime minister said at a press conference. “We need direct elections so that we can form a government.” “I want to get to the point where we are forming a right-wing government, and the way to do that without relying on one faction or another is direct elections,” Netanyahu said. The direct election proposal, however, appears doomed, after officials in the Ra’am party on Tuesday said it’s unlikely to support the idea. Amid the ongoing deadlock following the election, a Likud proposal regarding party representation on the key transitional Arrangements Committee was voted down by the Knesset Monday when Ra’am voted with the opposition. The Arab Israeli party then supported a counterproposal from the opposition that was passed, giving the anti-Netanyahu bloc a majority on the committee. Ra’am’s cooperation with the anti-Netanyahu parties came after it had been courting both Knesset blocs during negotiations to form a government. Netanyahu was hoping to build a right-wing government based on outside support from Ra’am, but the idea has been rejected outright by the far- right Religious Zionism party, which has repeatedly said it will not stay in a coalition that relies on cooperation with Arab Israeli parties.

(Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90) To form a majority in the Knesset, Netanyahu would need to have Religious Zionism and the right-wing Yamina party on board, as well as outside support from Ra’am. In the wake of Ra’am voting to stop the Likud proposal, Religious Zionism lawmakers remarked that it further strengthened their view that a government cannot in any way be dependent on Ra’am, even for external support. Facing Netanyahu is the Lapid-led “change bloc” of parties from the right, left, and center. That bloc will also be unable to form a government without Yamina and Ra’am. Neither party has committed to either side. With his chances of forming a coalition appearing to fade away, Netanyahu is now backing an effort — which would block Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid’s path to the premiership and prevent a fifth consecutive Knesset election — to reintroduce direct elections for prime minister. “There is a solution to the deadlock and it is a direct election for the prime minister to let the public decide who will lead the country. It is currently impossible to form a right-wing government because of personal matters,” Netanyahu said on Tuesday. On Monday, the ultra-Orthodox Shas party submitted a bill to hold a special election next month to pick the prime minister as a way of resolving a political deadlock that has seen four inconclusive elections in two years, the last of which was held in March. Should the Shas bill pass into law it would prevent Lapid from having a chance to form a government even if Netanyahu fails to do so, and would also end Yamina chair Naftali Bennett’s bid to be prime minister as part of a rotation deal. In addition, it would block Blue and White leader Benny Gantz from taking over as prime minister in November, as is the current arrangement under the unity government agreement with Likud, if no coalition is formed by then. Lapid immediately dismissed Netanyahu’s call for a direct election just for prime minister, writing on Twitter: “Netanyahu, the State of Israel doesn’t need another election. This isn’t a direct election, it is a bypass aimed at buying time at the public’s expense.” “It is time to form an Israeli unity government. It is possible,” Lapid added, referring to a potential government that doesn’t include Likud, which would face significant hurdles since it would have to include both right-wing and Arab parties, or both ultra-Orthodox and secularist parties. While a direct election for prime minister would automatically determine who would form the government, it would not change the coalition arithmetic, and the winner would still need to form a coalition from the same parties elected in March.
